I'm back from China after a delay caused by typhoon Usagi which necessitated reticketing - great end to a holiday when all you want to do is get home asap!

Thanks to Roger for maintaining the blog in my absence. Luckily he did not need to contact me with any problems, as internet in China was a pain & I couldn't even get into the blog to see what was going on - more at Atherton.

Our game next week is at Atherton & I'm told there are no surprises awaiting us in the form of tee/green changes.

Hi all ,
next Tuesday is at Mareeba and is a stableford event. This will be the final round of the Ted Thomasson trophy, the winner of which will have the best score for three of the five rounds nominated on the program. So perhaps you are like me and did not do too well at the club champs. Never fear you still may feature on presentation day.
